4 HOLY TRINITY CATHOLIC CHURCH October 4, 2015 Twenty-seventh Sunday in Ordinary Time SENIOR DINNER October 18 Dinner will be held Sunday, October 18, from 1:00pm to 2:30pm in the cafeteria. The cost is $3 per person. The menu includes sauerbraten, bratwurst, green beans, red cabbage, german potato salad, dessert and rolls. Please RSVP to Arlene at We rely on your help to serve 50 to 70 seniors every month. If you are interested in occasionally helping to cook an item for the dinner, please call Mike Bartusek at THE WAY TO THE KINGDOM The disciples were trying to be helpful. In the Temple of Jerusalem, only priests could enter the Holy of Holies, the men could enter the sanctuary, while women and children only got into the vestibule. So the disciples knew that children never approached the Rabbis. To show their respect for Jesus, they tried to turn the children away. But Jesus saw this as a chance to teach the disciples about the kingdom. As they tried to send the children back to their parents, Jesus changes the rules. He invites the kids to come to Him and even makes an example of them: "accept the kingdom of God like children" or you won't get in at all. So what do we learn from this? Children don't make themselves look important. They haven't learned to brag about their accomplishments, or how to offer a bribe to get what they want. They simply accept what is given to them. In a culture where we are expected to make a good impression, where we compete to get scholarships and jobs, we may be more like the disciples than we think. A young man falling in love may be tempted to show what a great athlete he is, or how he plans to get a high paying job after graduation. Yet all he really needs to do is tell the girl that he loves her. We cannot make ourselves look important to God; we can't bribe Him with good works or change His mind with promises to avoid sin. We can be sorry for our sins, and tell Him we love Him, and ask for help with our weaknesses. Children also have great faith. Not the deep faith that comes with adult experience, but a faith that sees goodness in everyone. If we can keep that faith in God's goodness, while developing a deeper faith that is not discouraged by sin and evil, we are on the way to the Kingdom.

Colorado College Presents Lecture on Thomas Merton Wednesday, October 7, 7 PM in Gaylord Hall, Worner Center (NW corner of Cascade and Cache la Poudre) Professor Lawrence Cunningham of the University of Notre Dame speaking on a great spiritual author of the twentieth century Upcoming Lay Carmelite Information Meeting The religious order of Carmelites draws its inspiration from the lives of the Blessed Virgin Mary and the prophet Elijah. The primary charism or gift of the Carmelites is prayer for a world which today seems to be in desperate need of it. As laity, we are able to participate in the charism of the Carmelites by becoming Third Order or Lay Carmelites. Many are familiar with Pope Saint John Paul II s great devotion to Mary and love for the Carmelites. If you would like to find out more about the Ancient Observance Lay Carmelites, plan to attend our INFORMATION MEETING Tuesday, November 3rd at 7:00 p.m. at St. Gabriel the Archangel Parish.

A Funeral Mass will be held at Holy Trinity on Saturday, October 10, at 10:00am.

How is stewardship intimately linked with the Eucharist as a response of our faith in God for His many blessings? Fr.
